The Vuitton Antigua

Following the girl in the gorgeous Marc by Marc Jacobs dress the other day, I spotted yet another girl wearing this Vuitton Antigua tote. Although by no means would this Antigua collection be considered new, it just struck me what the perfect bag it is for our SS06 wardrobe.

After all, the SS06 wardrobe is supposed to be of a more sophisticated nuetral palette and nautical. And this Vuitton Antigua bag is definitely both with the beige canvas and the spot of red strap making it interesting.

Another very good color to consider is this off white and brown one. Now THIS is a combination that will match everything. Plus, this is a great alternative if you want to own a Vuitton bag that is more subtle and doesn't scream Vuitton on every inch of its surface!

What size Antigua do you think is the best size? the smallest, medium, or large? Do you think it will last me into the rest of the year, or only this season? A good investment? Please let me know, I want to order on eluxury. . . thanks!

even though these bags dont totally strike me as gorgous i prefer them so so so much more than the regular Vuittons i hated those browna nd gold or white and raindbow bags that had LV everywhere yuck- these are much much more classy and practical

my best friend has the medium one in white... it is adorable... as long as it sits in your closet and dont go anywhere! my friend loves it but she has stopped using it because she cant even carry it on her shoulder without having clothes dye get onto her bag! its not my style (im more like a fendi baguette/spy kinda gal hehe) but its still a cute bag.

I agree. This is is more of a cruise bag so it's definitely more of a beach bag. Not so practical for every day use (it doesn't even stand up on its own) and although it would look great with certain outfits.

i like this bag because i would not be tempted to buy it! ;) seriously, it looks stiff and white canvas would not be white for long. i don't care for the welting on the ends--i think it looks cheap--and my pet peeve: the zipper tab sticks out one side! just not cute ay tall.

I just bought the Besace PM one in the red/purple color from eLuxury. It's lovely. I can't wait bring it to Newport this summer. It's so bright and summer-y. I don't buy bags with a bunch of logos on them (besides my LV trunk..because I can't parade that around the streets!) just because I've always thought it was tacky and bourgeois. So this was a god-send! The only other LV bags w/o a bunch of logo overload that I like are Suhali and Nomade.. and I don't like the Damier or Epi. And the Nomades are sort of boring.. and the Suhali L'Ingénieux PM is already on my wishlist!! I think the Antiguas aren't of the taste of many simply because of the lack of logo.. I think many of these working girls need to let others know that they've paid $1000 for a bag..and they're not just content with buying a well-made bag.. it's all about the logo. I think this explains it.
